Hidden Bangan
Let us take you off the beaten track and visit the temples that are not yet on all tourist maps and discover the hidden temples of Bagan. We take you to ancient temples and monasteries with mural paintings, temples that have not been cleaned for tourists and places you won’t find hordes of souvenir sellers. A lunch of typical “Myanmar dry zone” dishes is served in a local house far away from tourist busses or souvenir stalls. A fantastic day tour that certainly shows you the secrets of Bagan as only few have seen it.

Ghosts, superstitious kings, brutal conquerors and other scary stories
The history of the Bagan temples and the Bagan kingdom does not only have the fairy-tale stories of kings and queens but also the mythical stories of ghosts, spirits and brave heroes! Especially for families with children this tour is developed to make it more interesting for the little ones.
Biking through Bagan
We love Bagan, not just because of the beauty of each temple and not just because of the lack of hordes of tourists. We like Bagan most because of the stunning landscape of ancient temple ruins that seem to be spread around the area and can be best experienced while going around at your own pace on a good quality mountain bike.

Discover what real Myanmar countryside feels like with a lively rural market visit, learn the process of making tamarind flakes, visit the historic Yokesone Monastery, the home of U Ba Gyi and have lunch at a monastery.
Discover the Myanmar countryside by bike and boat
One of the best way to explore the Myanmar countryside is by crossing the Ayeyarwaddy River by boat and bike around the villages, farms and fields and see the rural side of daily life in Myanmar. During this leisurely 22 km trip you have plenty of picture opportunities and we stop to explain you more about agriculture and local crafts in the area. And the sunset boat ride at the end is the perfect way to return to Bagan.
